Host commentator

Arsenal have the option of using speedster Martinelli again tonight, after the youngster rolled his ankle before the Gunners’ FA Cup clash with tonight’s opponents – sending him for another spell on the sidelines. 

Martinelli is a prospect every Arsenal fan should be excited about, and they’ll be hoping to see him tonight. 

Steve Bruce’s Newcastle reign looks to be crumbling. They’ve not won since mid-December and handed Sheffield United their first victory of the season last time out. 

Tonight is vital for Bruce is he is to save his job, as every game will be from now. He launched a scathing attack on his players after the Blades debacle, tonight we’ll see if they respond. 

I’m not sure where you’ve been this week if you haven’t heard, but Mesut Ozil won’t be at the Emirates tonight. 

This evening will see Arsenal’s first game without the German looming over the club like a dark cloud, after the playmaker’s contract was terminated ahead of a move to Fenerbahce. 

Ozil has been a problem rather than a solution for Arsenal for a long time, and Arteta will be relieved to have one less of those problems on his mind. 

Check out IAN LADYMAN’S take on Ozil’s bizarre seven and a half years in red and white. 

Arsenal look to be pulling-off something of a revival, having squashed relegation talk with a four-game unbeaten run including three victories. 

The Gunners still lie 11th and 10 points behind fourth-placed Liverpool but in a ridiculous season, they could yet return to the European qualification fight. 

Tonight is an important test for the Gunners in professionally seeing-off an out-of-form side. 

Hello and welcome to Sportsmail’s coverage of Newcastle United’s trip to north London to face Arsenal. 

Victory would provide an important boost for both sides, with Newcastle badly needing to reverse their shocking form while Arsenal must to keep their improved run going to save their season.
